Backlash: Americans Stand Up for Sean Hannity
American Spectator ^ | May 30, 2017 | Jeffrey Lord

Enough is enough.

Five years ago, this space featured two back-to-back columns titled “Rally for Rush” and “The Plot to Get Rush.” The focus was a serious attempt by the far-left, race-card playing site Media Matters to force Rush Limbaugh from the airwaves by pressuring his sponsors to cease their connection with the show. The attack on Rush (over the Sandra Fluke incident) would fail — and it failed for one big reason. That would be Rush’s audience, which did in fact rally for Rush by directly contacting the handful of withdrawing sponsors to let them know that as customers of their products they would be no longer. One departing sponsor saw its stock dive, another begged to return (Rush said no) and most importantly Rush sailed on.

This time? This time the Media Matters target is Sean Hannity. In what should serve as a serious warning to sponsors who play these games and let themselves be gulled by left-wing social media bullies — now it is Hannity’s audience that is up in arms and fighting back. And specifically it is that section of the Hannity audience that uses the sponsored products.

Leftists are the biggest bullies in America. Sue the pants off Media Matters. Turn the tables on them. Go for punative damages. Their actions are malicious.

I was a subscriber of that computer back up company and my contract would expire in a couple of weeks. They kept sending email and I kept responding that I supported Rush and not their CEO who was a big lib.

Long, very effectively researched article on bias and media collusion with the democrat party sponsors.

Justice needs to go after Soros. There is more than enough dirt to prosecute. Put him behind bars and the funding for Media Matters evaporates.

I believe that they're a "tax exempt" organization, which needs to be scrutinized by an IRS "colonoscopy."

After we replace all of Obama's bitches in the IRS.

Sadly, Hannity is no Rush.

Hannity is going to cave and take USAA back, making the efforts of that new organization he allowed on his show today pointless, meaningless.

I think that the torts are interference with contract and interference with prospective economic advantage.
